Canyon Barn

Located in the eastern foothills of the
cascades, this renovation converted a turn of the century working barn
into a three-bedroom retreat from the city. The building was restored
with the intention of creating a comfortable home while retaining much
of its original form, character and history. Siding, paneling,
flooring, even fixtures and doors were sourced from either the original
building or salvage yards. A panel wall of apple crates and a large
custom light fixture over the dining table were fabricated from
materials found in the fields around the barn. New interventions were
carefully considered to have a modern aesthetic while at the same time
working within this raw palette. A blend of preservation and
intervention, this project updates an aging barn without losing sight
of its history.
